Summary
If you make £16,125 a year living in United Kingdom, you will be taxed £1,180. That means that your net pay will be £14,945 per year, or £1,245 per month. Your average tax rate is 7.3% and your marginal tax rate is 33.3%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of £100 in your salary will be taxed £33.25, hence, your net pay will only increase by £66.75.
